If not, let's start talking about how we can convert the 2010 TIGER data
once it comes out. Tim Trainor (of the Census Bureau) has mentioned
several times that the 2010 data is quite a bit better than
2009.</blockquote><br><br>
Sometimes. There were a lot of new subdivisions built that are in the
2009 data and not the 2005, and it would be easier to copy/paste a
neighborhood from it than to draw it from scratch from county records and
satellite images.<br><br>
I am also surveying in some areas that were never touched after TIGER
import. The 2009 data I've looked at is extremely well-georeferenced by
comparison, and it would be faster to cut/paste it from 2009 than to
realign the badly-aligned existing TIGER import.<br><br>
Would someone with a working shp2osm installation be willing to do the
mentioned counties for me?<br><br>

<dd>I looked at the wiki pages for ogr2osm and shp2osm (+ogr2ogr) and it
seems it will be somewhat involved to get either solution working on

<dd>Is there a repository somewhere of TIGER09 data that has already been
converted to .osm format? I'm looking specifically for southern CA
(counties of LA, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, Kern,
Ventura, Santa Barbara, SLO, etc.).</blockquote>
